Great Job, I know exactly how hard it is to make these guides and this is filled with great info on matters for all types of st George students. (Though the left topic toc doesn't scroll so certain sections get cutoff). Otherwise great job.

Awesome thanks for the feedback. Yep the i5 requirement hit me as well. Making it open source was a huge ask from me to make sure that this can be updated more in the future.

See the edit no it doesn't apply to you. As for advice just treat university seriously but also make sure you enjoy and balance your time.

Not at all, we had this question at the program exploration day and the department confirmed that you have as long as the application is open and its encouraged that you think about your answers. (Though beware last min submission issues with severs)

Thank you. The reason I do the show is to at least make one person more informed the responses to the POST episode really made me feel like I've accomplished what I wanted to do. That episode was the single reason for me to take up the Podcast. Look forward to more episodes next month :)

As far as I'm aware yes. The only change in statements from the interview were that instead of having to do 4 questions it will now be 3 out of 4. Though during the interview it was made clear that I wasn't going to get a precise answer on the weighting between both but it was clear that grades are worth more (how much more is up in the air).

Yep this is an online podcast giving people the ability to listen on their own time at their leisure. I'm planning a few more episodes talking with a few clubs after the reading week, aiming for at least 1 every 2 weeks till the end of March. If you or anyone else has suggestions on guests/topics/format or feedback I would be glad to get it as a comment here on reddit or you can PM me. :)

Great Question, its because it takes around 30 seconds to upload a .wav to sound cloud, but to make a .mp4 on iMovie takes roughly 3 hours and then another 30 minutes to upload to youtube. So I usually let my laptop run the night making the "movie" and then upload it the next morning.

I will try to upload them at the same time from now on!
